Ex-Cards workout for NFL scouts

Several former Lamar football players dealt with drizzle and cool temperatures on Tuesday in an attempt to impress National Football League scouts.

Roberts - a West Orange-Stark graduate and University of Houston transfer - had a strong 2014 senior season, winning third-team All-American honors from the Sports Network after completing 46 receptions for 1,157 yards and 13 touchdowns.

On Tuesday, Roberts was contending with a minor groin injury he sustained during a recent all-star game. He was still able to complete most of the drills and put up a good showing in the 40-yard dash, running it in 4.51 seconds.

"I felt pretty good," Roberts said after the drills.

Berry threw a number of passes to Roberts and it seemed like the record-setting quarterback had some good zip on his throws. It was enough to impress some of his old teammates who came out to watch the former players.

Okafor hoped to impress scouts with his size (6-foot-6, 305 pounds) and his production (a team-leading six sacks).

"We're kind of happy with our numbers," Okafor said. "We have two weeks to improve on (them). Get a little bit better, we'll see how that goes."

Lamar plans to host another Pro Day on Monday, March 23 and it is possible that the Lions and Packers could send scouts.

Roberts said he has a couple more workouts to attend, including the NFL Super Regional Combine held at the Arizona Cardinals Training Facility on March 21, in addition to LU's next Pro Day.

"I'm just blessed to be in the position I am," he said. "Everybody don't get this opportunity to continue to play at the next level. So I just got to take advantage of the opportunity I have."
